Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical concepts embedded in the architectural structure of Brahu Temple in Mojokerto as a representation of local ethnomathematics. The research employs a qualitative approach with an ethnographic research design. Data collection techniques include literature review, field observation, and semi-structured interviews with site managers and local cultural figures. Data were analyzed using an interactive analysis model through stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that Brahu Temple contains various mathematical elements, including circles and cylinders in the stupa-shaped roof structure, squares and rectangular prisms in the temple body, as well as squares and cuboids in the temple base. Additionally, elements of symmetry, reflection, trapezoids, and triangles are also found in ornamental patterns and structural details. These findings indicate that traditional temple architecture can serve as a rich source of learning that integrates mathematical concepts and local cultural values. Therefore, such cultural heritage can be effectively utilized in contextual mathematics learning to enhance students’ numeracy literacy and cultural awareness

Abstract

The aim of the study is to describe students’ visual thinking process in solving third dimensional problems. This research was descriptive study with qualitative approach. Two girls students with the higher rank in mathematics’ test and representing a student with field dependent cognitive style and a student with field independent cognitive style were selected as the research subject. The data were collected by giving third dimensional problems test based on Polya’s steps of problem solving and interviews. The student’s visual thinking is described based on looking, seeing, imagining, & showing process. The results shows that FI & FD student were looking & seeing in understanding the problems, seeing & imagining in devising a plan, in carying out the plan, FI student was showing relative short steps, but FD student was showing right solution in different steps. In looking back, both students was not showing a looking back process.
